From oversized skeletons to creepy crawly spiders, to tombstones, and intricate cobwebs, we’ve rounded up decor to help you achieve a similar eerie exterior look.

In case you missed my post on here yesterday (and big announcement on Instagram stories), we are adding a family member shortly after we move in toward the beginning of May. We’re getting a dog! Some Stagg’s are happier about it than others, but Ruby, Vivie and I are sure that Jon and Anna will come around soon. We’re well into puppy planning mode and I’ve been busy trying to figure out everything from where the puppy will sleep and eat to how we’ll take it outside when we don’t have a fenced or landscaped yard and won’t for quite sometime. Because of that, a space that has bumped up a lot in ..read more

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen our family’s news that we are getting a new member shortly after we move in. We’ve been discussing getting a dog for years, and we felt like after we moved into our new home and got settled would be the right time. It’s now happening a bit sooner than we anticipated, just a couple weeks after move in! We’ve been designing the home with a dog in mind, but now our timeline for the dog has been moved up and I’m feeling pressure to make fido-friendly decisions fast. I’ve had different dog areas in my head for awhile, and today I’m sharing some of th ..read more

Why hello there. It’s been a while since I hopped on with a Stagg Mountain Modern update. You’ve all been asking for one, and I’m grateful you’re invested in seeing this project through to move in and beyond.

In a past post, I shared a bit about why it’s been so challenging to talk about this project. That said, progress is finally really starting to pick up and I have got a lot to show you! The last ..read more

I’m not sure what’s more important to a designer: the gift or what’s it’s wrapped in. I kid, kind of…. but I think gift wrapping really sets the tone for the full present experience! Presentation is key for what’s under the tree, and today we’re sharing some of our secrets to beautiful and fuss-free gift wrapping. Credit: Zee5 Via Country Living Believe it or not, I am sort of a minimal wrapper.  It’s about striking a balance between simple and yet making it feel special for the receiver.  I love making a gift look special from the outside but hate to spend too much money on fancy pa ..read more
